Wondering today if ‘our Chuck’ could save us £40 million on that ball carrying midfielder?
With a decent DMF, we'd have Chuk, McGinn and Sanson as good ball-carrying midfielders.

If you go to David Lloyd gym you can watch him again, he is there most mornings. You may pick up a restraining order though....

He's the fittest fifty-something you could wish to emulate.

He's in unbelievable shape, he's probably bigger then Traore.

What a player he was though, I always felt he was underrated. His pace was all that ever got mentioned, but he had tricks and could finish with either foot, near or far.

Mad to think we sold a brilliant local talent in Mark Walters and just replaced him with another. Mark was possibly more gifted but I think Daley had more end product, and was more direct.

I have always thought Adama Traore was shit, and bar a very short spell at Wolves where he was slightly improved, he remains turbo-shit for me.

Runs fast, big lad, that's basically the lot.

With cov-id having a major impact on our finances I cannot see us spending £100 million this summer

With Wesley now coming back to fitness and the emergence of Davis as a goal scorer we don't need another forward, I would imagine that we will look to sign another midfielder and a left back as cover for Targett.


Christ, it's just this sort of thinking that has derailed our last two seasons.  We would be nuts not to buy another striker. If either of those two come good then great, that's a bonus.


How has the amount of strikers we have derailed this season?

5 points gained from losing positions is very low total for team that's been top half 90% of the season.

Just in last few weeks Newcastle have got two draws in last 5 minutes v Spurs and Liverpool and beaten Burnley from a goal down so they've matched that total and they're a bog standard bottom 6 team. Think all those goals were scored from players off the bench.

We simply don't have enough players who can come on with half an hour left and up the tempo and pin opposition back, at the moment it's more bringing on a Trez or Davis to see a game out.

We need 5-6 Fulham type games next season to be in with serious chance of europa spot as we were always decent at getting points from behind in games in the MON years.

Equally, we didn't go behind in that many games (comparatively) to a normal season, or drop points from a leading position until the last few games.

My wish list below. I would go all in on three top players and promote youth to provide backups.

A striker/right winger who can cover Watkins, play alongside him or replace Traore as required.
A number 10 who can also ideally cover left wing. Rotate with positions with Jack and give Chukwuemeka chances at 10 also.
A Kante type player to protect the back 4

Listen to offers for Guilbert, El Ghazi, Nakamba, Engels

Loan out Davis, Barry, A Ramsey, Bogarde

Promote Kesler Hayden as cover for Cash and option on right wing. Chukwumeka (who ideally should be getting game time right now in preparation).

If there is money in the pot after all that maybe get a backup to Targett and loan out Chrisene.

A striker, starting winger, starting deep lying midfielder and a left back to challenge Targett would be on my list. 

Think as the season has gone on, it has become increasingly apparent that we need a solid, mobile defensive midfielder in the mould of Ndidi at Leicester and along with a striker, I think that is a priority.

I’d rather have Neto than Traore if we raided Wolves.

I'd still rather have Aldi Saint-Maximin.

I want to see him further up the pitch playing closer to Grealish, he seems to be deadly in and around the box and could really exploit the space Jack creates. Similar to Barkley's role before he fell apart.

I watched quite a bit of Walters at Bristol Rovers. He still had class in his mid-thirties
Vitālijs Astafjevs was my favourite player from that era at rovers. He was one of the Rovers players that I was saying Villa should sign back then. Same goes for Rickie Lambert

The article I posted had him as creating far more opportunities than most players, and way more dribbles and passing players too. Which is what had me changing my mind.

“You know I always tell people in our businesses great judgement, overrated, great information, underrated,” said Wes Edens. “Because truly if you have great information most of the decisions are pretty darn simple. Yeah and so I feel like in soccer they’ve got a long way to go in terms of analytics data."

Much better than James Morrison.  Neto is very good though.

We should look at the promising Irish midfielder, Tesc O'Fabragas.
